1. Create a family name. The family with the best name will be awared 10 points extra credit on their next quiz! Be prepared to present and explain the name to me at Thursday's class.
2. EdWay (Yep that's wht I decided to call them to save time, like one, two-headed monster!) will return your grammar assessments. Collaborate on the answers now, and change them accordingly. After, EdWay will review the correct ones.
Wednesday Module: You are working through the holidays...it sucks, but WELCOME TO ADULTHOOD!! Here's something festive:
And then for something completely different...clear your mind by listening to this symphony:
EdWay will give you guys a peer editing sheet to follow. Pair off with someone in your family. Be sure to follow ALL directions.
Any left-over time can be spent completely your assignments. All assignments must be completed for class on Thursday.
OTHER ASSIGNMENTS:
READ: Hacker section on Commas (Chapter 32, p.292 )
WRITE: Re-write of Formal Essay #1 due to me in class on Tuesday. There MUST be a total of three drafts and the editor's marks
READ/WRITE: 1. New York Times blogger Constance Hale writes an interesting defense of verbage. Read and write Journal #3 about verbs. Respond to the piece thematically, maybe find some Google-searched verbs of your own. If at a lose, talk about the power of verbs in your young lives. I think we, as a society, do not generally put enough into the power and plausibility of verbs, then again, maybe I'm a dork.
2. Another New York Times blog post which discusses the phenomenon of busyness. Read and write a response. Be sure your response both reacts and analyzes as discussed in class. This is Journal #4.
